iDataPlex high power server from IBM

IBM has recently launched a new type of server design specifically dedicated for the Web 2.0 companies building huge data centers to power social networks, online gaming, search, and other services that reach millions of users.

The system runs the open-source Linux operating system, including distributions from IBM partners Novell and Red Hat. IDataPlex is scheduled for release in the United States and Canada next month and globally by the end of the year.
